WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says President Barack Obama has invited House Democratic leaders to dinner Wednesday at a hotel near the White House.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California will attend the private dinner, along with the No. 2 and No. 3 Democrats in the House, congressmen Steny Hoyer of Maryland and James Clyburn of South Carolina. The top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, Maryland's Chris Van Hollen, will be there, plus the chair of the House Democrat's campaign arm, Steve Israel of New York.

Contingency planning. How funny that they choose to get together on the day testimony begins on Benghazi. This is like a sick soap opera.

Is Barry running scared? Will the liberal socialists stand beside him? Will they be able to divert attention from Benghazi? Will Hillary throw someone under the bus? Will the liberals be able to squeeze in a manufactured crisis before the zero hour.? Will Nancy save BarrY? Please watch the next episode of “Benghazi Me, Benghazi YoU” 11am CST.

The idiot and chief is taking this to a hotel is because he knows there are those in the white house that is watching and listening to all of what these communist say so he is using a hotel for his criminal meetings.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that one. Methinks the subjects of Benghazi and with what to do about those “wayward” ones giving their testimony will get top billing for discussion. Time is short, the heat is on, and much plotting must be done.

I notice many believe this is related to the Benghazi hearings. Perhaps. I just don’t thnk obama is that worried about it. They will dodge and weave and the media will help them. My guess is this is a strategy alignment for rest of his 2nd term and how to pick up seats next year and not focused on just Benghazi.

As always I’ll take a contrarian approach here. IMHO a hotel (an hotel?) is *less* secure not more. Either from the standpoint of physical security *or* the walls having ears.

So why not the White Hut?

I think in DC it’s all about power and it’s all about appearances of power. If they go to dinner at the White Hut the congresscritters are being summoned to Barry’s place and that puts them on a lower power rung. By meeting at a “neutral” location they are all on an equal footing.

To my political calculus this shows weakness (and is meant to show weakness) on the part of the boy president.
